He reveals, “She often used to starve; she wanted to look good. She wanted to make sure she was in good shape, so that on-screen, she looked good. From the time she was married to me, she had blackouts on a couple of occasions, and the doctor kept on saying she had a low BP issue.”
“Since I got married to her I knew she has this tendency of going on a strict diet, I used to push my daughters to tell her that she must have some salt. I used to push her myself. Whenever we used to go out for dinner, she used to say, ‘food with no salt.’ Unfortunately, she didn’t take this seriously, and he also thought maybe it can’t be this serious until the incident happened,” Boney Kapoor finished off.
During the same interview, Boney revealed that he was interrogated for 24–48 hours after Sridevi’s death.

”It was not a natural death; it was an accidental death. I had decided not to speak about it because I spoke about it for almost 24 or 48 hours together when I was being investigated and interrogated. In fact, the officers said we had to go through this because there was a lot of pressure from Indian media. And they discovered there was no foul play,” the producer told the outlet.

He added, “I went through all the tests, including lie detector tests and all those things. And then, of course, the report which came clearly stated it was accidental.”
